Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DiabloDesu Diabloディアブロ (@DiabloDesu) reported

    im having huge lag spikes in overwatch with my GTX 1070 TI, anyone know how to help?

  • TheBeefLord TheBeefLord🍔🪑 (@TheBeefLord) reported

    @MxnstrAshe It's not only that, people should show their disgust about it by not supporting the games that do nothing to fix such things because they know 90% of their communities are toxic. That's why I stopped playing LoL, Valorant and Overwatch, all of them toxic af.

  • cadaver_x cadaver. (@cadaver_x) reported

    @ConnorJordanIRL i think one of my biggest issues with “high skilled players” is that they say how they feel and their word is taken as gospel when a vast majority of players are casual. it makes the game look bad and by comparing it to overwatch, turns it it into something it’s not

  • ManBroDude_ ManBroDude (@ManBroDude_) reported

    I think I will be deleting Overwatch. As a whole, this game isn’t enjoyable. Idk if it’s because the person who got me back into it ended up destroying my mental state or what, but I am getting angry over nothing. I am part of the toxicity problem in Overwatch. I’m sorry.

  • terrairl t e r r a *:・゚✧ (@terrairl) reported

    @Vyvian07 @CORSAIR @BestBuy For me it was the left click (thanks Overwatch and Genshin), but I upgraded from the original Scimitar to the newest (Elite, I think?) and haven’t had any issues since launch on mine. So I think they’ve improved it or I just got really lucky.

  • biggestsonicfan SaltyFreeman (@biggestsonicfan) reported

    I... can... not... get Overwatch to crash again... I feel like someone sabbotaged my computer just enough until I got the ban and it isn't fun anymore...

  • ieatmcdogs Jerry (@ieatmcdogs) reported

    Things @CSGO need to fix: - EU West ping issue - Player Inventory Servers - Fairer rank system (I don't want to match against a 6k hour CSGO veteran who didn't play in a few months so isn't global anymore when I'm MG2) - Less spinbot cases in overwatch (they still exist)

  • litskinkiece markiece givens (@litskinkiece) reported

    @_ImTheAnswer ***** I been lagging stupid crazy lately. Dc’d on overwatch 4 times the past week so I’m beyond bored my ***** fr lmao

  • Robburrito_ Robb Burrito (@Robburrito_) reported

    @andysspotlight It just led me to playing Overwatch again, which is a REAL problem.

  • setsunabear ✨Princess Setsuna👑✨ (@setsunabear) reported

    It's funny how I never have internet issues ever until I play competitive overwatch. Stop making excuses. It's childish.

  • WhittandWhimsy Jesse Whitt (@WhittandWhimsy) reported

    @AskPlayStation Customer care is closed for the night. I attempted, futilely, with a rep to get a problem solved. I’ve been unable to play/download my copy of Overwatch: Origins Edition on my PS5. Could you please help?

  • lspiguesslol LSP (@lspiguesslol) reported

    @sjwdebates JUSTIN OVERWATCH PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ MY INTERNET ISN'T LAGGING ANYMORE

  • yoshi85858555 yoshi85858555 (@yoshi85858555) reported

    @CallMeLilly__ Banners, emotes, wraps. I wouldn't see Epic going with Outfits or backblings being rewards unless they added something similar to top 500 in overwatch. Also they would have to fix the scoring system because currently you can just camp to champion.

  • Koimonoseph Joseph (@Koimonoseph) reported

    Finally fixed my Overwatch performance issues , had to go back to December drivers , anything past that was causing unplayable stutters

  • Mushroid Josh (@Mushroid) reported

    @Cupsy_ Overwatch's biggest issue is they haven't released any actual real content in over a year.

  • drachenheart Tomo Umaoka (@drachenheart) reported

    Overwatch sober just doesn’t feel right unlike playing Fighting games. Im a problem but it’s one that I must do to enjoy that game with the toxicity I face

  • Koreanjesus691 DFS Empire (@Koreanjesus691) reported

    @zenpharaoh You were spoilt I mean 1 op is healthy while overwatch got 1 new character in 2 years plus takes time to fix the game and look at its health

  • meteotrix Azu. ! :3 (@meteotrix) reported

    hard to work with family around, bleh meanwhile, I'm playing overwatch realquick turns out my hanzo aim is completely fine, and the issue is my gamesense just gotta activate my brain hah

  • starsnores sleepystarbaby (@starsnores) reported

    Also has anyone been having trouble with the overwatch servers lately? People keep jumping around and freezing

  • Cupsy_ KENA FAN CLUB (@Cupsy_) reported

    the issue with overwatch is that its so unapproachable for new people.

  • nonbinarymood Animem (@nonbinarymood) reported

    @catluvr817 idk if u have access to a pc, but I played overwatch on my PlayStation and switched to PC. It is MUCH better there, and I have a feeling (?) that the Switch might have problems with frame rate.

  • ltadori_yuji Haru (@ltadori_yuji) reported

    I hate men on valorant. Have not met ONE respectable guy who refrains from s*xual jokes or making misogynistic remarks. Not one. All the incels in the world and their anger issues are on val. And ofc riot does nothing. Even overwatch wasn’t ever this bad.

  • secrethellzone l*cus’ divorce lawyer (@secrethellzone) reported

    I’m built like a Barbie but i want to be roadhog overwatch and that’s my ******* problem

  • mfledd Matthew Fledderjohann (@mfledd) reported

    @NeilShenvi Justice might be: strict overwatch of future bank managers’ access to accounts with more safeguards in place to prevent illegal redistribution of private funds. Unified agreement of what is evil. Forgiving errors. Trusting in God that evil will always receive God’s justice.

  • ConnorJordanIRL Connor Jordan (@ConnorJordanIRL) reported

    @cadaver_x But ultimately, that’s the point, it’s not overwatch, so having caustic gas tick at 12 damage a second through shields is ******* brutal when you add that to someone who doesn’t miss, the game becomes very difficult. The high skill players notice problems first, that’s all

  • discojedi discojedi (@discojedi) reported

    Hey @nvidia or @BlizzardCS any word on fixes for 3080 and overwatch being completely unplayable for the first minute or so of gameplay? (10-40fps) fresh installed and issue persists. Only overwatch does this

  • INVISIBLESIMMS ⚯͛ ☂︎ conn⁷ | 15 days | JJK1 (@INVISIBLESIMMS) reported

    my laptop didn’t lag overwatch and now i kinda wanna play....practice bc im horse **** on pc....overwatch

  • Hurleyj44 Jack Hurley (@Hurleyj44) reported

    @2MGoverCsquared I don't really ever hate it, but Paladins. The devs create more bugs than they fix and it's kinda scuffed, but I will swear till my dying day that it is better than Overwatch. There's so much to like about that game and it never gets the love it deserves.

  • SarcasticGamers Alan Blackwell (@SarcasticGamers) reported

    @ellegreen22 @knnymchl93 @PaulieEsther1 I’d rather not honestly, but at the end of the day I wouldn’t really care. Like Tracer from Overwatch is gay I like Tracer fine, I adore Life Is Strange and that game is gay as heck. It’s just the shoving it into peoples faces I can’t stand. That’s really my only real issue.

  • KawaiiMilkies KawaiiMilkies (@KawaiiMilkies) reported

    @scarra Looking forward to overwatch 2, hopefully they fix the bug
